Raul Cuero grew up in a very small village in Colombia in extreme poverty. Both his parents did not know know to read nor write; this drove him to want to learn and do better than they did. In Colombia, Raul started playing basketball at a very high level on their national team. This gift of basketball made it possible for Raul to get a scholarship and study in The United States. Today, he absolutely crushed his goals as a young child to learn how to read and write. He is currently a microbiologist with nine scientific inventions.
In Raul Cuero's interview with Patricia Gras, Raul says that creativity can only come from conversing to one another. He says that the younger generation has no real creativity because we all use technology instead of conversing. I completely disagree with this statement. Why? So much has changed in the past couple of years with technology. This is the age of technology and our generation focuses so much on advancing technology. This is still considered creativity. It is just focusing our mind on something different and fitting for the time and place we are at in this country.
Something I do agree with in the interview is when Raul talks about doing things with intensity. He mentions how you have to be fully committed to something and give it your all without the thought of failure. Clearly, Raul stuck by this his whole entire life and has played a key part of him being so successful in his career. I agree completely with what Raul says about intensity. If you aspire to do something, you have to give your all. Doing things with intensity help you achieve goals and you should give everything you do in life your all.
